Do I need a specific educational background to follow a work-study programme ?
We invest in work-study contracts as a recruitment strategy, allowing us to integrate new employees into the company while training them at the same time. We take on all profiles, regardless of qualifications.
-
Will I be mentored during my work-study programme ?
Each work-study trainee is mentored by a tutor on a daily basis in the field and supervised by an employment coordinator.
At Eiffage Infrastructures we have always believed in the benefits of mentoring and have over a thousand tutors among our staff, mainly in the project teams, in all categories from branch managers to master craftsmen, including site foremen and works supervisors.
These trained and experienced tutors commit to mentoring on a voluntary basis, fostering skills and know-how transmission, and supervising the new recruits' social integration. -
My engineering course requires me to do part of my work-study programme abroad, can I do this ?
Work-study trainees will find opportunities on our European and overseas sites (Spain, Germany, Belgium, Senegal) and international projects. In the long term, this experience will benefit the Group's development.
We are eager to share our expertise and support our work-study students on the road to excellence.

Eiffage’s training centres set their sights on jobs
Eiffage Génie Civil is reinforcing the teams on its project worksites, training young talents in a number of particularly sought-after trades. This is a great opportunity to develop know-how in contact with experienced teams deployed on a large-scale project. With the chance of a permanent job at the end of the day.
-
Who are the centres for ?
These schools are open to all, including non-qualified people with few prospects of finding a job. They have an intake of around 200 students per year, recruited after a selection process including aggregate information and individual interviews. Applicants are offered a work-study contract with paid training.
As mobility is an important factor in all our activity sectors, they need a valid driver's licence and means of transport.Our centres are also open to staff who already have jobs in the company, but can benefit from technical and professional in-service training to be up-skilled in fields like topography and stonework, or qualify for promotion to leadership positions in the technical trades (team leaders or site foremen).
-
Do the centres offer diploma-based courses ?
Eiffage Infrastructure Training Centres offer long-term diploma-based courses (one year on average) as part of our apprenticeship and professional skills programmes, leading to a qualification or certificate recognized by the Labour and Education Ministries and the sector's professional branch.
Many applicants obtain a full-time permanent contract once they have passed their exams.
-
How is training organized in terms of pace and timing ?
Trainees alternate “theory” in the training centre and “practice “ on the sites - where they are mentored by company employees – to become street and utility network or waste-water network builders, civil engineering form setters or machine operators, according to the company's needs.
